Interestingly, and in contrast to Stale’s uber hucking, Mikkel had some super slow, super stylish tricks in his runs including his signature floaty front 3 indy and a ‘pokey’ no grab backside 180. Are the judge’s perhaps scoring amplitude, style and control higher than the number of rotations alone? Will 2012/2013 be the year of the slopestyle triple cork – Mark McMorris attempted one in this very contest, or will it be the year that style and originality in runs is properly acknowledged?
